Sometimes it takes 20 years for a broken heart to turn into a song.

lyrics

You kissed me and showed me Paris
But then you sent me back to the farm
You said we couldn’t be together
You knew you would only do me harm
If you don’t have them feelings for me
You can tell it straight to my face
But if you’ve decided I can’t handle your love
I really don’t see how it’s your place

Who asked you to decide for me?
Who says we’ll end in tragedy
You ain’t my mamma, you ain’t my shrink
Maybe my heart is tougher than you think
Maybe my heart is tougher than you think

It ain’t no secret that love is a gamble
You can lose your heart as easy as your shirt
But the jackpot we’d reap is so, so sweet
It’s worth the chance of gettin’ hurt
So don’t turn me away to protect me
Don’t tell me my heart’s doomed to break
Lovin’ you might lead me to disaster
But that’s my decision to make

Who asked you to decide for me?
Who says we’ll end in tragedy
You ain’t my mamma, you ain’t my shrink
Maybe my heart is tougher than you think
Maybe my heart is tougher than you think

Painless Parker Brooklyn, New York

Born under a barstool and raised by a pack of wild koalas, Painless Parker plays a mixed bag of country laments, sea shanties, murder ballads and classic rockers, filtered through a grimy, whiskey-stained punk lens. He's fluent in two languages, and can cuss in at least seventeen. He enjoys rabble-rousing, shindigging, booze drinking and merrymaking. ... more
